Shop small, and shop local. Every dollar spent locally helps to spur the economy, keep it vibrant, and to maintain that cool factor that Owego gained in 2009 when it was voted, nationally, and named the Coolest Small Town in America by Budget Travel Magazine. With the quaint shops, historic buildings, and activities that fill the streets of the historic downtown district throughout the year, Owego still ranks, in my book, as the Coolest Small Town in America.<\/p>\n

Exciting Holiday plans are underway for Saturday, Nov. 11 as the Historic Owego Marketplace presents the Holiday Showcase, an event that marks the beginning of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Santa and his Elves will be arriving in a beautiful horse and carriage at noon. Santa will tour the village and then stop at the Tioga County Visitor\u2019s Center<\/a>, located at 200-204 Front St., where he will greet children from 1-3 p.m.<\/p>\n

As for the merchants, there will be specials throughout the event and a window contest will also be taking place to see whose storefront has a creative edge this holiday season. <\/p>\n
